Maybe it's time to clean up and return all those refundable bottles and cans kept in the locker since March? :sarcasm:

I did it a couple months ago with the bottles. It took me some time because most places around me either did not accept any returns (even when they were told to resume their activities) or made you wait in line for a while and on specific hours only. I have to admit that when everything was closed (or offered very limited access) a lot of cans found their way to the regular recycling bin though. Every week there are people passing on my street collecting refundable bottles so I often give mine to them. I wonder what they did last spring when merchants didn't accept any returns.

I had an issue with fruit flies that kept reappearing this summer which got fixed by replacing my kitchen garbage bin. Even cleaning the old one again and again did not help, seems like it would have needed a steam cleaner.

These days I deal mostly with a few spiders a week, they are harmless anyway. One of my cats looooves to chase them. They often hide in hard-to-reach corners, I use the cat as an extension... it looks ridiculous but it works and prevents me hsving to climb on a chair!

Nah mais en vrai même s'il a pris du poids en vieillissant, il a un beau visage, il est certainement moins laid que ce qu'il croit. Son manque de confiance en soi est triste je trouve.
